A/N- I can't stand to leave the computer with something half-finished, so here is chapter 6.
disclaimer- I haven't changed my name to Stephenie Meyer, so I don't own these characters. Unless I somehow morph into Stephenie...nope, I don't think so
Also, to those that have reviewed, thank you so much! You guys are the reason I keep this story going, I'll stop talking now and let you read.

"Alice, please? Come on, I just need to know…" I'd been trying to get Alice to check up on Bella and Jasper for the past five minutes.
"Fine," her tone was cold, but I watched her eyes glaze over, and knew she had obeyed. I didn't like what I saw.
"Bella! You don't have a crush on the mood-changing vampire, do you?" Jasper asked in mock horror.
"I don't know, I'm not sure I can help myself," Bella responded.
Alice quickly pulled out of the vision so I wouldn't hear anything else I didn't want to. "Emmett!" she called, seeing what I was about to do. Before I could so much as take a step to the left, the big lug that was my brother had me down on the ground, pinned so I couldn't move.
"EMMETT! Get OFF!" I yelled as I tried to push him off of me. It was a lot harder than it sounds; Emmett weighs about the same amount as an elephant.
"No can do, bro, I've got strict orders to make sure that you do not go home right now," he grinned and looked apologetic at the same time.
Alice pulled out her cell phone. We all heard the conversation that took place, but what struck a chord with me was the tone in Alice's voice when she said, "Watch it Jasper," it wasn't angry, like she was afraid he would cheat on her, more playful, like she knew he would and was okay with it. It was no use trying to read her thoughts. She had switched from "Barbie Girl" to the Teletubbies theme song.
"Is someone ever going to tell me what's going on?" I asked angrily.
"Maybe if you promise not to leave when Emmett gets off of you," Carlisle answered.
I sighed heavily, "Fine."
"Fine what?"
"I promise not to leave when Emmett gets off of me," I conceded. I just needed to know what was going on, and why Carlisle, of all people, was singing "Hot Stuff" in his head.
Emmett looked unsure, but slowly loosened his grip on my shoulders, making it possible for me to sit up. After seeing that I wasn't thrashing, he got up the rest of the way. I stood and brushed the dirt off my pants. "Alright. I'm still here, now I want to know why you've all been covering up your thoughts lately," I said.
Carlisle sighed heavily, then said, "Bella needs to know that you trust her, Edward, and we never get this quality time. Alice will let you know if anything too terrible happens, so stay here."
"Fine," I finally gave up, knowing that with Alice here, I would never get away.

Jasper had made me a delicious meal of chicken parmesan and a garden salad. Apparently Edward wasn't the only one who took an interest in the cooking channel.
"So?" he asked right after I had taken the first bite of chicken.
I chewed and swallowed, "Jasper," I said, faking a scolding tone.
"Something wrong?" he asked, his honey eyes wide.
I couldn't stand to upset people, so I lightened my tone instantly, "No, no, not at all, I'm just a little upset knowing that you and Edward can cook better than me, and you think this stuff tastes like dirt."
He laughed, his laugh sounded so much like Edward's. It made me miss him, but I quickly thought of him picking my mind and wasn't so sad.
After dinner, Jasper picked a movie to watch; he put it in and wouldn't answer when I asked him what it was. "Just watch, Bella, and try not to get scared."

Night had fallen, and there hadn't been a single second that my mind wasn't on Bella and Jasper. They were alone. They could be doing anything. What if Bella had made good on her JASPER! ORAL! Chant? The others had gone off to hunt on their own, and I was left alone to think about…what? The fact that the love of my life, my Bella, was alone with my brother, whose name I had heard in her thoughts repeatedly? No, surely I wasn't supposed to think about that, but I really couldn't help myself. Something occurred to me. Alice wasn't anywhere around, and if I made the decision quick enough, she wouldn't be able to catch me. I started running.

I had put "The Hills Have Eyes" in the DVD player, but I didn't tell Bella. I wanted to watch her reaction. It came on and she gave me a frantic look.
"Jasper! I'll have nightmares if I watch this!" she shouted.
"Don't worry. I'll be there to make sure no monster come to get you," I teased.
"Fine, but don't expect me to be brave throughout this, I hate scary movies."
She turned to look at the TV and pouted. She'd screamed three times before I instinctively moved over and wrapped my arms around her, just to maker her feel better.
That probably wasn't such a good idea, because after about two minutes I heard the door open and Edward roared, "JASPER! What the hell?"
"Edward! The movie…it was scaring her…I…I just wanted to make her feel better, I swear!"
"Yeah, I'll bet you planned that! You put that movie in on purpose knowing it would scare her, and you would conveniently scoot over to hold her! I trusted you!" he snarled.
Bella spoke up, "Edward, it's totally not what you think! Just like when you got in my head and heard things you didn't like. You just came in at the wrong time! Had you been here five minutes ago, you would've been proud that your brother, my future brother, was protecting me that way, wouldn't you?"
Edward didn't even register that she'd called me her future brother. "I would've been the one holding you had I been here five minutes ago," he said, trying desperately to calm himself down. I shot him a wave of calmness.
"Well, if you knew that you couldn't be here to hold me, wouldn't you be grateful that someone could?"
A growl rose in Edward's throat as he eyed me viciously. "What else have you been doing while I was away, Jasper?" he hissed.
"Nothing!" I shouted
"Go back, Edward, Alice is going to be very upset that you left. She'll make Emmett beat you up!" Bella yelled.
Edward just turned and left. I was in shock. I thought for sure that he would have been on top of me in seconds, growling and threatening to tear me to pieces. I turned to Bella, "Well, that was awkward," I said. If I could have been blushing, my face would have rivaled the color of a fire engine.
"Let's stay away from the scary movies for now," she agreed. "I'm tired, Jasper, I think I'll go to bed. The plan for tomorrow is still on, though," she smiled evilly as she climbed the stairs and walked to Edward's room.
The plan is still on? After that? That is one brave woman. I thought to myself.
